Adding to the woes is the fact that as of now you cannot change the default search engine and Mozilla has assured TechCrunch that the new web browser options will be arriving soon.

By targeting trackers Mozilla is confident that the browser will load the pages faster since according to them it is the tracking tools that often increase the load time. Mozilla claims that users can further experience a surge in performance as opposed to the other browsers.Īlso, the Focus comes baked in with an erase button on the top which will instantly erase your session in a single tap.
